accomplishments

About this time of the year, people start to think of New Years day resolutions. I don't bother, but I sort of live by that old adage that 'any day that I don't learn something, I'm dead' . and I thought that I should try and accomplish something every day, even if it is minor. Today December 28, I have observed the logs on my new computer system and seen that x.org is not loading properly, which I new, but now I have a better feel for why, and now I need to figure out why. I don't expect to complete this today, but knowing that I have taken a step further is sort of an accomplishment. I have also treated my new bicycle saddle, so that counts too.

Lets hope that I can keep it up. I don't intend to enumerate all accomplishments here, but I think that I should note them in a diary.

Wish me well.

History of the world

In the beginning there was Google, but nothing to search for.

So God created the earth, and the planets, and day and night, and a myriad of other things, and on the seventh day he created the most cantankerous, opinionated, argumentative thing that he could, and that was Man, who would disagree on everything from Autocracy to Xenophobia.

Then Google found 20 definitions for everything, and now we have to teach our students not to accept anything that they find, but to do proper research and see that all facts are verified from reliable alternate sources.

(so Man built wikipedia?)
